A-Naughty-Biography and other poems

Meet the narrator who refuses to behave. This late-Victorian collection pulses with mischievous energy, offering poems that trace the arc of a life lived on one's own terms, from childhood capers that scandalized respectable neighbors to wry, tender reflections on love found and lost. Mrs. Enoch Taylor's unnamed protagonist speaks with a voice both intimate and rebellious, confessing sins with such disarming charm that you cannot help but root for her continued naughtiness. The verses move between humor and genuine poignancy, capturing how youthful rebellion transforms but never fully disappears. This is poetry as intimate confession, with a wit that feels startlingly modern despite its 19th-century origins. A small, spirited book that rewards readers seeking verse with personality rather than pretension.
